What happens
Bud Abbott and Lou Costello appear in a 1944 episode of their radio series, first heard on NBC and ABC on January 27, 1944. At a women's club benefit concert, Abbott is set to serve as master of ceremonies, and movie star Janet Blair is organizing the entertainment. Costello, who has his own interest in Blair, is roped into playing the piano, and a music teacher named Professor Nuzzo is brought in to coach him. Costello's clumsy lessons and his scheme to pass for a pianist with a second piano behind a screen lead to a series of mix-ups as the concert approaches.

Written from the episode itself; it never gives away the ending. Every recording is remastered for the stream: cleaned of rumble, hiss and mains hum (and the old TV whine where we found it), then levelled in two passes to steady broadcast loudness, so one show is never quieter than the next.
